Yr 5&6 children @GayhurstE8 study history topic: The Romans while we prepare their art activity with beeswax. Thanks @LondonHoneyCo

What could their art project bee?
A tablet of sorts, two or three.
We’re buzzing with excitement to explain...
A mark on the surface will remain.

THANKYOU @LondonHoneyCo for the sweet surprise in our parcel this morning! We received 1kg of beeswax along with a handsome Fortnum honey bear. Hello sir!

Yr5 Teacher: The knowledge & competence of the @ArtHoppers team was amazing. The modelled pieces, explanations & support the children were offered during the wksp definitely had a positive influence to the end product the children produced. @GayhurstE8 @SadieEdginton @paupixel

Yr 5&6 @GayhurstE8 exhibition 'Guilds of Benin': The ancient Kingdom of #Benin was of grand design using the rule of symmetry. In the centre, the royal palace. Broad streets radiated out leading to organised districts protected by large city walls at approx 16,000 km in length

[#TAG at Gayhurst Sch @TAGatGayhurst]

Yr 5&6 @GayhurstE8 exhibition 'Guilds of Benin' is open until 6.Mar. Making plaster costume masks helped children understand the process of mold to cast. The #lostwax process was used to make the #bronze plaques and sculptures for which The Kingdom of #Benin is known.

[#TAG at Gayhurst Sch @TAGatGayhurst]

Yr 5&6 @GayhurstE8 opened 'Guilds of Benin' 30.Jan. Written arguments by pupils discuss if the bronzes looted by the British in 1897 should be returned. @thestandardarts also published a piece on @HornimanMuseum's proposed public consultation re: future of their Benin collection.

[#TAG at Gayhurst Sch @TAGatGayhurst]
